Operation: Hot pregnant wife. Beginning now...

I've been a slob for the past 8 weeks because I'm so sick all the time and I just don't even care anymore how I look. I've decided to change that starting today. Today's task? Plucking my eyebrows. It's a scary mass up there and I just kind of let my hair fall over my face when I'm out in public because it's so bad. Anyone else up for the challenge? We may feel like crap but I think if we make an effort to look somewhat presentable or even pretty again we might feel a little better about ourselves. (I hope)

Other stuff on my list: Wear clothes suitable for public every weekday. (unless I'm strictly hanging over the toilet with no breaks)Blow-dry and straiten this frizzy mop on my head at least 3 times a week. Wear some form of makeup everyday. (even if it's just some lipstick!)Buy some tanning lotion to get my pasty splotchy pregnant skin glowey again.

That's as much as I'm willing to commit to so far. :-)

Mani/Pedi tomorrowWear my hair down 2-3 days a week (I've been wearing it up almost every day for the last month)Go through closet and put away things that definitely do not fit and create new outfits with things that do!

I love it! This is a great idea :) I'll have some to-do's for tomorrow since it's already 2:30pm so if I do something now, hubby will be wondering, lol.

My to-do's: Straighten my hair and wear it down (All the MS has me rocking a ponytail or bun on most days)Put on a nice outfit and not lounge around in PJ's or sweatsDo my makeup so people will quit asking me what's wrong and why I'm so pale.

Yay for being a hot prego wife!

Perfect timing! I started this yesterday by finally using that massage gift certificate my husband got for me months ago. I am hoping that it will help me to feel better and get motivated. I had so much stress in my neck and shoulders that I am sore today!

Anyway, on my way home stopped and got some of that jergens tanning/glow lotion - my legs are already not quite so ghastly white.

I have my hair down today - no ponytail for the first time in weeks.

Makeup - well lip gloss and some powder.

Now if I can just manage to stay awake past 7 pm!

Good luck everyone.

So I will try to do some of these this weekend since it's a holiday and I will be seeing family!! Â I will definitely wear some make up!! Â But my Hair will be in a ponytail!! Â I got a bad haircut and I'm trying to grow it out so it's a ponytail everyday for me!! Â I also gave in and waxed my eyebrows theÂ other day! Â It was rough, but I couldn't wait for my friend to do them, her salon is really busy right now and she couldn't fit me in! Â And as soon as I reach my second trimester, I will be coloring my hair!! Â Every timeÂ I go to the hair supply store to get color for family members I just want to color my own!! Â But if it were up to my DH I would never wear make up and I would never dye my hair (which has been good since I haven't done anything with myself since finding out I was pg) Â

The one thing I will commit to is I will get dressed everyday!! Â I will not live in Pjs everyday, I will only wear things that I would be able to leave the house wearing!!

Ive been the same! LOL. Sweats or yoga pants daily with t shirts or sweatshirts. But I do have class most nights so I have at least been putting my hair in a ponytail and my makeup. But alas, I've decided to suck it up and start wearing my maternity jeans, shaving at least every 4 days, and before the end of the week, I WILL go get my eyebrows waxed! I too am going to pick up some jorgens tanning moisturizing lotion bc I can't take the pasty whiteness any more! ESP with summer coming. Oh - and I will get a pedicure by months end. :)

Ooh ooh! And I made it to the gym yesterday! Haha. Only 25min before I was tired, cramping, and needed to rescue my crying son, but I made it back in! :P

Fate stepped in for me on the hair. I have been wearing it up more often because that means more time in bed in the morning. Yesterday I discovered my awesome pregnancy acne has spread to the back of my neck...soooo I will now be wearing my hair down until that mess clears itself up!

Good luck to you all on being sexy hot prego women!

I've pretty much kept my normal routine as before. I'm pretty low maintenance. I barely ever shave my legs. About 1x/week in summer and maybe 1x/month in winter. I never wear makeup to begin with so nothing new there. The only thing I've really changed is straightening my hair. I used to do it every second morning when I got up. But now the combination of hot/standing in the morning just doesn't work for me. I found it's ok in afternoon/evening but I prefer my hair to be dry before doing not just blown dry. So ponytail it's been for the last while. Ive even contemplated getting my hair chemically straightened so i dont have to do anything to it. But im not sure if thats safe right now. Other than that I work in a professional office so I dress up everyday even though I don't want to.

Lovin' the enthusiasm girls! I'm sure our men will too. :-) Here's hoping this helps us feel better and I am soooo envious of you girls that are going to get mani/pedi's and massages! We're too tightly budgeted for all that but I did buy some Avon foot stuff from my friend and can't wait until it gets here so I can pamper myself a bit!

That is where my hubby got me my massage - it was actually my VD present. I just hadn't used it yet. Anyway, with Groupon, you sign up and they send you an email everyday with that days "deals". So a $60 massage is generally $30! Almost everything is 50% off - sometimes even more.

If you have missed this or it hasn't come to your city yet - check it out and try to convince them to move into your area.

The last time I had a mani/pedi I purchased it on there too and it was only $20 for the whole thing including a sugar scrub.

I have a sample from a friend that is thinking about selling Arrebone (spelling?) and I am going to try to take a warm bath and give myself a facial to hopefully get rid of some of this acne!

Have fun!

Hello!

I am totally going to get my hair cut tomorrow!! I cannot stand it, it is thicker than normal and keeps poking me in the shoulders and neck making me all itchy and putting it in a ponytail doesn't help. I do think it looks pretty at this length though. I am going to chin length, and am gonna let it grow back out.

Well I am definitely in! I plucked a few eyebrow hairs to get by but I'm getting them waxed on Saturday. I'm also getting a cut and color on Saturday as well. I took time with my makeup today and another girl at work told me how good it looked. That felt great!! I also work in an office where I look presentable so I'll just step that up. Super excited that we r in this together!!!!!

I live in a very rural area. The closest city that I could take advantange of deals like that would be over 3 hours away! Our local small town only has small businesses started by local entrapreneuers. (sp?) My DH, however, does give wonderful backrubs when he's got the right motivation! ;-)

LOL i could have written this!! I look absolutely awful and have for the last several weeks, my eyebrows are scary and I am dreading plucking them. Now that my final semester of school is over (YAY!) I think I should be putting a little more effort into my appearance. I am pretty sure I was scaring people in the halls at school! I am going to paint my nails, pluck my eyebrows and do something with my hair that has been sitting in a messy bun on top of my head for the past-i cant een remeber how long lol (obviously I wash it inbetween, I just never do anything with it anymore) and maybe I will even put some makeup on!

By boyfriend actually got my a gift card to the spa for xmas that I haven't gotten a chance to use yet, for a mani/pedi, haircut, and massage - I could get my eyebrows done there too, I really need to book an appt!

My DH actually likes me in sweats! Never owned a pair in my life before him so I've got a win-win situation for real! I've been keeping up my eyebrows, hair and nails. Had to shave my legs though cause they were Sasquatch looking. Haha! All in all, I've been keeping up with being a hot pregnant wife :-)

Well, I tried my darndest. But unfortunately the hair stylist I visited today wrecked my hair something awful. Not only do I feel even more hideous, my hormones are everywhere. Sobbing hysterically at this mess of a hair do, or else irrationally angry. So not hot.

Here's hoping I have that pregnancy gene that enables hair growth and luster!!! I'll need it, otherwise this mamma is going to look beyond worse than necessary at the delivery room...

4 years of hair growth, hacked to pieces. :(

Oh no! I'm so sorry! That really sucks when that happens. :-( I gave up on paying people to cut my hair because they never fail to screw it up so badly. I just put my hair in a really tight ponytail, pull out peices that I want longer and let my DH hack off what's below the rubberband. Somehow it always looks better than what I get when I pay someone $25-$50 to do. I'm sure it will grow out quickly since you are preggo. Maybe play around with it some and see if you can find something cute to do with it?
